Accrington Stanley vs Leeds United Live updatesWelcome along to today's live Leeds United coverage as the Whites travel to face Accrington Stanley in the fourth round of the FA Cup. United required a replay to see off Cardiff City in the competition earlier this month, but Jesse Marsch will expect his side to beat the League One strugglers this afternoon and seal their place in Monday night's fifth round draw. We're expecting to get a first glimpse of new club record signing Georginio Rutter at the Wham Stadium. The France Under-21 international hasn't featured just yet but he should get some game time today, while Luis Sinisterra will be looking for minutes, too, after overcoming injury. Accrington have struggled for form this season and currently sit just one point above the League One relegation zone, but John Coleman's side will believe they can cause a huge upset in front of their own fans. We're reporting live from Accrington to bring you all the build-up, team news and match action.
